Some signatures are well-known and public. In any event
they're problematical. Whereas they authenticate a document, they are
also a source of identity theft and for that reason I think properly
redacted when making a public record of them. This redaction is time
consuming and for that reason I am grateful for a judges stamp rather
than their signature on such documents.

Similarly, handwritten documents can also be problematical. Because
nothing authenticates a document more than seeing it written their in
the own handwriting.
